Well balanced aroma of malts and hops. Kind of smells like brewing a home brew. Light orange color with a medium white head. Moderate bitterness with a slightly sweet finish. Good body.

Orange body with good head and nice lacing, fairly cloudy. Pretty malty on the nose with a citrusy hops touch. A little watery and slightly hoppy on the taste, but fairly well balanced by a caramel malt presence. A light bitter finish, but not particularly powerful. Not very complex, but not very bad either.

Very nice looking beer when poured that has a head that lingers for quite some time. aroma is also good for an IPA. I found the beer when drinking it to be wanting. Very mellow offering for an IPA. A little on the water down side.

Pours a lightly hazy golden amber with a medium foamy/bubbly off white head that left lots of lacing. Aroma of a nice floral/citrus hop, some light caramel malts, some grassiness. Flavor of mixed citrus, some pine, caramel, a little watery and on the thin side. Also getting some iced tea.

growler for a dinner party. The aroma is grassy hops. The taste is very sweet with weak orange flavored hops present. This is a heavy and sweet IPA but it is still very drinkable. Don’t expect a hop bomb, this is a sugary British style IPA. not bad

Unpasterized bottle, unfiltered and fresh from Massachusetts trip. Good head, with a citrus hop aroma. Very smooth, and balanced understated IPA, almost like an English IPA though even less bitter and not dry but fruity. Well done.

A slightly hazed orange pour with a light lacing. A light aroma of citrus. A slight bitter finish but a tad flat. a fruitiness that is a bit like an apa. A bit thin but has good carbonation. As I said earlier if this was an apa I would rate it up into the 3.5+ range but it’s not. The hop profile is just not here to make this an ipa. A good drinker yes a good ipa? nope not so.
